Wow… what a great game development competition – again! And the best of all: I was allowed to be in the jury which was a great honor for me. But let’s talk about the games… I guess that this competition has rised the bar of the quality of the entries again and the students used ASM instead of C. Finally the games Operation Alexandria by 4MHz (1st), Jarlac by Retrobytes Productions (2nd) and Legend of Steel by TOD Studios (3rd) won the competition. And they really, really, really deserve it, but download them (download link below) and you can see it by yourself.

My personal 2nd place (I had to vote for the playability), the game Taulellets by Vicente Jimenez, was finally ranked 17 – anyway, I still like it very much and I will play it from time to time for sure. It made me come back during the test of the other games to play a short round to get past the next level :-).

If you want to participate on the CPCRetroDev next year, be sure to download the games and have a look at the documentations in the games folder. All the developers wrote a small “Making Of” and all games contain the source code. So this is obviously a great learning resource for everyone who wants to code for the Amstrad CPC.

But enough from me… here are the results of the CPCRetroDev 2018 game development competition:

You can download the games in one package directly down below or from the download section of this site. More information about the game development competition can be found on the CPCRetroDev homepage.

And another Amstrad CPC production directly from the Revision 2018 in Saarbrücken / Germany: “Isometrikum” by Vanity. It competes in with the other entries in the 4k intro competition. Great to see so many new entry this year on the Revision. Here is the live video recording of it:

And another demo that was shown during the oldskool demo competition on the Revision demoscene party in Saarbrücken, Germany: “phX” by Condense. It was under development for nearly 5 years and wow… it was great to see the demo on the big screen and get the reactions from the audience. Have a look by yourself:

As always, you can download the demo from Pouet.net (don’t forget to vote).

On the Revision 2018, Vanity showed their new demo called “Onescreen Colonies” to the audience in the oldskool demo competition. I recorded it during, so you can see the reaction of the audience by yourself:

The CPCRetroDev 2017 is over and again 29(!) new games were submitted and judged by the jury. And so here are the results and downloads for all the games. Even if there were less games submitted, the average quality of all titles rised again. Thanks to all participants for making the CPCRetroDev such a great success again.
